The transfer market is becoming narrow for Teófilo Gutiérrez as the days go by and the options are running out.
The veteran striker is looking for an opportunity, ideally in Colombian soccer, but financial claims might apparently be an insurmountable obstacle for many clubs.
It was recently announced from the player’s environment that there was total agreement with Unión Magdalena, a team that would welcome the arrival of an attacker with experience and ambition, who can be a hook to attract the fans and who also has a stormy past. in the backyard rival, Atlético Junior, which has a flavor of revenge.
However, from one moment to the next, this alleged agreement was broken due to what would be an exaggerated economic claim by the attacker.
According to journalist Henry ‘El Bocha’ Jiménez, Teófilo would have asked for a monthly salary of 100 million pesos, which the statement considered an “unpayable” figure for the club.
The counteroffer raised even more doubts: “They offered 25 million and paid another 25 ‘under the table’, I don’t know what they mean by that, but there were 50 million in total,” said the source. The idea would not have liked the footballer, who would have resolved to listen to other options.
It is said that Atlético Bucaramanga also approached and Teo himself said that Independiente Santa Fe would have also approached him with an offer that did not crystallize. Asking a lot? Perhaps the pressure of the start of the League will force him to make new accounts. It will soon be known.
